Analytical Solution to DGLAP Integro-Differential Equation in a Simple Toy-Model with a Fixed Gauge Coupling

Abstract

We consider a simple model for QCD dynamics in which DGLAP integro-differential equation may be solved analytically. This is a gauge model which possesses dominant evolution of gauge boson (gluon) distribution and in which the gauge coupling does not run. This may be N=4 supersymmetric gauge theory with softly broken supersymmetry, other finite supersymmetric gauge theory with a lower level of supersymmetry, or topological Chern–Simons field theories. We maintain only one term in the splitting function of unintegrated gluon distribution and solve DGLAP analytically for this simplified splitting function. The solution is found using the Cauchy integral formula. The solution restricts the form of the unintegrated gluon distribution as a function of momentum transfer and of Bjorken x. Then, we consider an almost realistic splitting function of unintegrated gluon distribution as an input to DGLAP equation and solve it by the same method which we have developed to solve DGLAP equation for the toy-model. We study a result obtained for the realistic gluon distribution and find a singular Bessel-like behavior in the vicinity of the point x=0 and a smooth behavior in the vicinity of the point x=1.
